Poker Branding With Fire
TYPE in the word “poker” into a search engine and get the usual responses.
Politicians with “poker faces”. Nations playing “poker” with waepaons.
And a man getting branded with a red hot poker – for a bit of a laugh.
Politics can wait. So too can war.
And we journey to a pub in St Austell, Conbrwall, wher the drinkers are making their own entertainment.
A man has pulled own his trousers.
Drink. A fire.
A pal pulls the red hot poker from a fireplace and ’brands’ his backside.
The smell of burning flesh and hair.
A spokesman for the Westcountry Ambulance Service says: ”You can clearly see a nasty burn which could cause serious damage. When the anaesthetic qualities of the alcohol has worn off, he may well be in for a painful trip to hospital.”
